CITIZEN CONNECTED

Overall I love the app but it’s too bright I wish there was a way to have the homepage and everything in dark mode also so I wish there was more things you could do with the watch more customizations more calibrations finding ways to redesign this watch it has so much potential I love the watch and I am buying a couple more but definitely want more things on the app because I feel like it’s missing a lot like if I decide to work out I want to see how long I worked out for and what exactly did I do and if it’s possible to see how much I gained and how much I lost stuff like that but overall I’m satisfied with the app I just wish they could do more even some more faces would be nice

I’ve had a fit bit, 2 actually, constantly went crazy, lost connection or would not turn on. I like watches, always have, I own several Citizens watches, awesome watches, these are my favorite watches to wear anywhere. Durable and accurate, I get so many compliments on my Citizens watches because of their appearance, so when I saw that there was a smart watch available that looked like a watch, not like someone strapped a small tablet to their arm, I had to add it to my collection. This watch is awesome, it looks great, it’s easy to use and set up. The app is great, just as easy to use as the watch. I could not be happier.

After using an Apple Watch and two Garmin smartwatches over the years I decided that being in my 70’s I really didn’t want the mass amount of data they produced. And, I was missing the look of a classic watch. The Citizen hybrid Cz offered exactly what I wanted: classic Citizen style with key smartwatch metrics. I track steps, calories burned, distance, workouts and sleep. I also love that two week battery life. Now to the Citizen Connected app: something is not right. I have been using it for almost two months have been struggling with is the accuracy of its step counter. Early on it seemed that I was walking farther but those steps were not reflected in the totals. Today I performed a test (to support this review). I used my Citizen hybrid, my old Garmin Venu and my iPhone's accelerometer and came up with the following: Steps recorded - iPhone: 12,709, Garmin: 13,319, Citizen: 8,576. This means that I have to take over 30% more steps to meet my goal in Citizen Connect. Another issue is that I want to track distance. On the Garmin my steps equated to 6.6 miles (2016 steps per mile which is low), on the iPhone it equated to 6.1 miles (2083 steps per mile which is just about right) and the Citizen only 3.2 miles (a whopping 2680 steps per mile). Without doing the math it seems to me that I am not getting credit all of my steps or my stride is not correct. I checked the settings in the Citizen Connected app and my height and weight info is that same as what I have in Garmin Connect. Something is not right, I am now using my iPhone to count my steps and may go back to my old Venu.
